Ebay has 4 auctions for 962's for sale listing around $50. That's less than a set of tubes for your tube power amps. Not as great sounding as the tube amps but made to sound sweet for guitar, better than most other solid state amps. Lighter, smaller less expensive and very reliable. This is great for a spare/backup/practice rig, and you may even like it enough to use it for the real thing!!!! I did for a bunch of years in clubs, and mine is still ticking in my studio. I got it cause I was sick of spending so much money replacing power amp tubes.
